1st transplant done in trial of Parkinson’s cell therapy ANPD001

[Farooqji]

This experimental therapy for Parkinson’s uses a type of stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPSC, which is able to generate nearly any type of cell in the body — including dopamine-producing neurons. Its manufacturing is a three-step process.

"The trial’s primary phase is expected to be completed by next year, and patients [N=9] will be assessed for five years post-transplant, with the use of imaging scans of the brain."

Patient 1 in this trial was nice enough to join Marc's Zoom call about a month ago to share their experience with the implant. Very exciting!
